Windows 10: AVD Standard Windows client has horrible audio quality on Azure Virtual Desktops. Works...

A bit of a long story, so please be patient :Our environment has got RDP shortpath enabled and clients make successful UDP connections to the Windows 11 Enterprise 21H2 AVD's. RTT is very low as well within 20 ms. We don't plan to use Windows 10 OS, hence QOS enablement is not done for the AVD'sWhen the agent connects to the AVD using standard Windows client available at link and takes calls on Avaya One-X Communicator App version 6.2.7.03-SP7 , the call is jittery and it crackles as well. The agent can hear the customer fine, but it is mainly the customer which faces issue with the jitter.

Azure Virtual Desktop

Hi guys, I am planning to adopt Azure Virtual Desktop? Can someone help me with what's new in AVD? Will be helpful!

 

Azure Virtual Desktop

What is Azure Virtual Desktop?

AVD provides a desktop and application virtualization platform on top of the Azure public cloud. That last part is crucial, as it highlights a potential departure on Microsoft’s behalf from offering virtualization services exclusively to Windows users.



With WVD, users could access Windows 10 applications and desktops from virtually anywhere via Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS devices, as well as HTML5 web browsers. Soon, though, AVD will support more operating systems, including Linux.



By leveraging the public cloud infrastructure, Azure Virtual Desktop can offer increased scalability, enhanced collaboration, and less expensive licensing fees than WVD. Further, AVD is a Desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) offering, which means that companies don’t need to support the underlying layers of technology. All they have to do is set it up and administer it.

1. Enhancements to Windows 10 Enterprise Multi-Session VMs

Remote Desktop Session Hosts allow several users to access a single virtual desktop on Windows 10 at the same time so that users can continue to use familiar Windows 10 applications and desktops with their existing per-user Microsoft 365 licenses.



With AVD, you can manage both virtual and physical desktops with Microsoft Endpoint Manager in the same way that you can with shared physical devices.

2. Automatic enrollment of AVD Virtual Machines

In the past, Microsoft created WVD QuickStart to enable users to deploy the virtual desktop service in as little as 1-2 hours for a basic setup, and as little as a few hours from start to finish – all without digging through Microsoft documentation or spending weeks (even months) testing the service.



Despite this, Microsoft did not consider WVD QuickStart one of its official products. But now WVD QuickStart has been formally integrated into the Azure portal with full support, and has been renamed simply ‘QuickStart’.

3. Azure Virtual Desktop VMs join Azure Active Directory

Password and username-related cyber attacks increased by 450% in 2020. ForgeRocks’ 2021 Consumer Identity Breach Report also revealed that phishing and ransomware attacks followed at 25% and 17%, respectively.



Though these findings focus on consumers, they’re notable for enterprise organizations as well, as many employees use their personal devices to log in to their company’s portals. Hackers may use compromised personal devices to gain access to your company’s sensitive data, especially in the healthcare, financial, and technology sectors.

Hope this will be helpful
